So..... This week
was great!!!!
The best thing this
week was teaching 17+ lessons! A new record for me, my previous was 11 in Ipoh.
We have some new
people learning. Brother John and his wife Sister Sutia. He is an inactive
member but wants to come back. He was 1 week away from baptism when Sister Sutia
was baptized, however, smoking killed him. We will work with him again.
Sister Kat is 37 not
60... Anyway we helped her in her kebun (farm, garden) on Friday. Learned how
to find, harvest, prepare and cook bamboo chutes it was very interesting.
The worst thing that
happened this week goes like this...
So the members here
like to kecau (tease, trick, make fun of, use awful Malaysian sarcasm on, etc.)
the Elders.
We were at Sister Seleha
and family's home (a recent convert family) last night for family home evening. We had
lots of fun. They tell us the activity is going to be outside, everyone goes outside. A
flour fight ensues... Way fun. Unfortunately it had been raining a bit and as I
ran out from under the parking shelter my feet flew out from under me and I
landed on my left hand/wrist. Long story short I am typing this in a cast that I
got earlier today.... Yes I fractured my wrist..... It should take about 2
months to heal. I can still ride a bike more or less.
Anyway, that’s Elder
Halpin’s week.
Honestly I’m in good
spirits and not too worried about my wrist. The work here is too good to be
worried about things like that. Basically I tied my tie one handed today, thus
it is short. I also forgot to shave. I also need a haircut that I’ve been too
busy today to get...
Sibu Jaya is the
best!!!!
Love,
Elder Halpin
